Synthetic oil switch from petroleum oil?

Synthetic oil switch from petroleum oil?
I'm thinking of switching to synthetic oil (amsoil 0 - 40) in March. I have heard that petroleum oil residue in engine and front gear case takes away from the synthetic oil heat transfer and slickness. I have a P650 with 1100 miles on it.
Should the engine and gear case be flushed with a solvent to get rid of varnish, etc.? If I do flush it, could it damage or screw it up someway? What would be a good solvent to use?

kawiyowee,
I'd just run it without flushing......
I'm just finishing a rebuild of my mohave engine: 380 cams, ss oversized valves, HD valve springs with titanium clips, hardened rockers, new wiseco piston, etc....You should have no problem with the Amsoil. I'm also going to the 0W-40 to break it in, etc.
